Use 1.5lbs 93/7 ground beef, mix with 1.5 tbsp salt. Roll out as thin as you can, place in a dehydrator for 6 hours on 160F. Transfer to a food processor or blender until it's dust. Transfer to a baking dish lined with Parchment paper. Stir in rendered beef tallow, im not sure how much just get it to where it's like paste or a little thinner than paste it's a preference thing. Put it in your fridge overnight. Cut into bars in the morning. Its pretty easy peasy.

I'm gonna post the whole recipe word for word here for yall lmao. This is literally the recipe I use each time I make it. The one above is from memory, and is also how I make beef jerky too.

Ingredients

▢1.65 lbs. beef or other lean meat

▢⅓ lb. tallow or lard

▢1 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

1. Cut the lean meat into thin strips or pound it thinly. This will increase the surface area and allow it to dry more quickly.

2. Dry the meat. You can use a food dehydrator (70ºC/160ºF) or an oven set to its lowest temperature to dry the meat thoroughly. In an emergency situation, it can also be sun-dried.

3. Once the meat is dry and brittle (not flexible), break it up into pieces and grind it in a food processor until you've obtained a thin powder.

4. Melt the tallow and mix it with the meat powder. The mixture should have the consistency of wet sand. Add the salt, to taste, and any other optional ingredients like dried berries. Mix everything together until well combined.

5. Spread the pemmican out onto a sheet of baking paper. If you prefer, you can also use molds to create fun shapes.

6. Once the pemmican is shaped, let it cool completely.

7. Cut the pemmican into bars or unmold it before storing it in an airtight container.

It can be eaten immediately as a snack, or served in soups or stews.

*Notes

Choose lean meats for making pemmican. Ideal choices are buffalo or bison, venison, and beef.

Pemmican can keep for several months, or even years, if stored properly in a cool, dry place.It makes for a perfect snack during outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or even as a quick and nutritious meal replacement.

For the longest storage times, vacuum seal it and/or freeze it.
